Water for Kiunga: How GivePower and Soligo Are Bringing Clean Water to Those in Need

Imagine living in a place where access to clean drinking water is a daily struggle—a place where the water you drink could make you sick. For many communities around the world, this is a harsh reality. But thanks to the innovative efforts of the GivePower Foundation, there is hope.

One such effort is the Water for Kiunga project, which is bringing clean, safe drinking water to a community in Kenya. At Soligo, we are proud to support GivePower’s mission, helping to bring this life-changing technology to the people who need it most.

Water for Kiunga: A Lifesaving Project

The Crisis in Kiunga

Kiunga, a remote coastal town in Kenya, has long struggled with access to clean drinking water. The water sources available are often contaminated with salt and other harmful substances, making them unsafe to drink. The health impacts on the community have been severe, with waterborne diseases being a common and deadly problem. With the ongoing global water crisis, the situation in Kiunga has become increasingly dire.

GivePower's Solar Water Farm

In response to this urgent need, GivePower has deployed one of its groundbreaking solar-powered desalination systems in Kiunga. This solar water farm uses advanced filtration and desalination technology to convert seawater into clean, drinkable water. Remarkably, the system produces enough clean water for about 35,000 people every single day. Powered entirely by renewable energy, this solution is not only sustainable but also economically viable for the long term.

How It Works

The solar water farm in Kiunga is powered by a solar microgrid, which provides the energy needed to run the advanced desalination equipment. The system filters and removes salt and other impurities from the seawater, producing clean, safe drinking water. Unlike traditional water wells, which can be limited in their output and sustainability, GivePower’s solar water farms provide a higher quality of water over a much longer period of time, ensuring that communities like Kiunga have a reliable source of clean water for years to come.

The Impact: Transforming Lives with Clean Water

A Decade of Clean Water for Just $20

One of the most remarkable aspects of GivePower’s work in Kiunga is the efficiency and impact of their solution. A donation of just $20 is enough to provide one person with clean drinking water for an entire decade. This means that even small contributions can make a significant difference, allowing anyone to be part of this transformative project.

Long-Term Benefits

The introduction of clean water to Kiunga is not just about health; it’s about creating opportunities. With access to safe drinking water, the community is now healthier, children can attend school regularly, and women and girls no longer have to spend hours each day collecting water from distant, unsafe sources. The availability of clean water also opens the door to economic development, as businesses and agriculture can thrive in a more stable and sustainable environment.

Soligo's Commitment to GivePower

How Soligo Contributes

At Soligo, we are deeply committed to making a positive impact on the world. That’s why we have partnered with GivePower, contributing $40 from every solar installation we complete to support their vital projects. These funds help ensure that more communities like Kiunga can benefit from clean, renewable energy and access to safe drinking water.

The Bigger Picture

So far, Soligo’s contributions have helped provide clean water, electricity, and other essential services to hundreds of people in need. But our mission doesn’t end there. We are working towards raising $100,000 to participate in our own Soligo Trek, where we will visit a third-world village and help build a solar-powered water desalination system. This initiative is part of our broader commitment to creating a better, more sustainable world—one where everyone has access to the basic necessities of life.
